Enjoying ‘third age’ to the fullest

Ageing gracefully: Selangor U3A members learning how to walk like a model at their clubhouse in Petaling Garden.

PETALING JAYA: On the second floor of a modest shophouse, the room comes to life on certain days of the week with old folks learning to move like catwalk models, swaying to Zumba, blowing harmonicas and strumming ukuleles.

After decades of dedication to work and serving their families, these people are embracing old age with vigour and music – thanks to the University of the Third Age (U3A), an international movement.
